news Thank You and Good Bye Afternic.com

Hello everyone,

I think this is the longest gap I’ve taken in between two posts but I’m sure this will come as a surprise to many of my fellow domain investors that I’m leaving Afternic.com

As many of my readers know that since January 2020, I’ve been using Afternic.com price request lander. It’s been almost 6 years using them and I had an overall great experience. With all the challenges and ups and downs including economic crisis and uncertainty in global market due to wars, I still had many extra ordinary months with the help of Afternic team. It was really nice working with so many Afternic brokers and especially my rep Adam Ramsdell who did all his best he could to get the maximum sales out of my portfolio. I sincerely appreciate Adam and the entire team whoever was involved in getting the sales happen smoothly.

There are two main reasons for leaving Afternic:

1. I’m no longer interested in paying any commission.
2. Like the way I opted Afternic from Uniregistry, now I would like to prefer handling and managing the portfolio and leads myself.

Overall, it’s been a rollercoaster ride with a lot of inconsistencies which I believe is part of the business especially domain investing. It took a lot of time to think and decide about this decision but I believe now is the right time to go and move onto the next level of my domaining journey.

Currently I’m in the process of trying something new and I’ll share more details in my next post, so stay tuned.

Thank you!

@AbdulBasit.com, What's the update on the article about your experience with NamePros Landers?

Thanks for asking.

I'll post the update on my blog in March.

Five months later, I wonder if you had any (negative or positive) impact on the number of sales and the average sales price, as well as - of course - the overall profit. I'm looking forward for the update!

Going by the example domain, you don't list the price at the NP landers, is that true for all domains? IIRC at godaddy you had buy now prices set, is that correct? If so, I am also very interested in the results of this change.

Thanks for your comment and asking.
I plan to share the results by the end of this month.

Looking forward to the update. Real numbers after several months will be far more useful than theory.
